Siemens’ Dresser-Rand business has received an order from Egypt-based Belayim Petroleum Company (Petrobel) for three model SGT-400 industrial gas turbines, including associated electrical generators. The total order value is in the double-digit million euros range.
Petrobel, a joint venture formed by Italian oil and gas company Eni and Egypt’s General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), is developing the Zohr gas field, located about 200 km off Egypt's Mediterranean coastline. The order scope also encompasses a service package that includes spare parts supply and on-site maintenance. The turbo-gensets are slated for delivery in early 2017.
The 12.9 MW SGT-400 turbines, manufactured at the Siemens facility in Lincoln, UK, will be integral to the supply of electric power to the natural gas processing facility currently under construction. The SGT-400 model is considered the most efficient gas turbine in this performance class. This lowers fuel consumption and also allows a generating margin should the company’s plans call for an increase in the facility’s production capacity.
